In what is hopefully not an omen for the rest of the band's tour, MOTORHEAD had to cut their Salt LAke City concert short on August 27th due to frontman Lemmy Kilmister not feeling well. The band left the stage after only three or four songs. A few hours later the following message appeared on the band's official Facebook page:

"The people are great, but the air is just too thin. The high altitude makes it difficult for breathing, and thatís what happened with Lemmy tonight in Salt Lake City. He feels very bad to have cut the show short, but being that high up, he had some trouble breathing well. Lemmy appreciates everyoneís concern. The fans always rally round!"

At this moment the band's tour is expected to go ahead as planned, including these dates:

8.28 - Denver, CO - Riotfest

9.1 - Austin, TX - Emo's

9.2 - San Antonio, TX - Aztec
